Alejandro Pozuelo joined some select Toronto FC company Monday when he was named to the 2019 Major League Soccer Best XI.
The Spanish playmaker is the fifth TFC player to be accorded the honour, alongside Dwayne De Rosario (2009, 2010), Sebastian Giovinco (2015, 2016, 2017), Justin Morrow (2017) and Victor Vazquez (2017).
The 28-year-old Pozuelo, signed March 4 to help fill the attacking void left by the off-season departure of Giovinco and Vazquez, opened his MLS account with a bang March 29 when he scored two spectacular goals and added an assist in a 4-0 win over New York City FC.
